Large‐scale importance of bark beetle outbreaks for standing deadwood and woodpeckers
This study shows for the first time that large‐scale long‐term dynamics of bark beetle infestations are beneficial for woodpeckers and positively influence their population numbers by providing deadwood resources. Abstract Resource pulses associated with forest disturbances can significantly influence biological communities, with interacting and ...

Long‐term population dynamics of western tent caterpillars: History, trends and causes of cycles
The length and in‐depth nature of this population study make it unique. It represents perhaps the most extensive monitoring of viral infection in a wild insect population. We have used laboratory and field experiments to test many hypotheses about mechanisms that potentially impact the dynamics of this cyclic species.

Avian blood parasites are widespread and often considered benign, yet mounting evidence suggests they subtly impair host traits. This meta‐analysis is timely and necessary to quantify their true impact across systems, challenging assumptions and highlighting overlooked consequences for fitness and population dynamics. Abstract Stressors that subtly yet
